What version of Yaws are you running?

This error message results from not being able to run the yaws_ctl
subsystem. Are the various files under your $HOME/.yaws directory writeable
and are the directories under there navigable/traversable?

Have you tried running yaws with the -i option to start up an interactive
instance? It might show you more error output.
